iran is well known for having countless historical and instrumental records of tectonic events. shahriary catchment, as a study area, is part of the zagros collision seismic province. this research aimed to introduce a new method which is useful in identifying the relative active tectonic events of an area. the research method was designed in order to calculate the relative active tectonic inde...

tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. in order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the alamarvdasht basin in the south of iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (sl), drainage basin asymmetry (af), hypsometric integral (hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (vf), dra...

The explosion in GIS usage in marine disciplines such as active tectonics has revolutionised our ability to visualise, analyse, and interpret seafloor environments using multiple datasets and a much more “holistic” view of geologic/geophysical data than previously available. Driven by the growing capabilities of desktop workstations, we can now realistically expect to display, merge, and fly th...

the study area, paykola anticline, is located in the southwestern part of kermanshah province. the aim of this research is to evaluate the geomorphological indexes of active tectonics in paykola anticline as well as to study the effect of tectonic in the form and direction of geomorphological landforms. to achieve the aim of study, the lithological and tectonic characteristics of study area wer...

current research in order to identify neo tectonic activity of the ziyarat basin has been made on the northern slopes of the eastern alborz in south-gorgan and using the index of morpho tectonic and tectonic evidence in the area. in this regard, the 6 morphological parameters were calculated and the results are analyzed. the overall results of these features, as indicators of the relative activ...

Alborz Mountains is a region of active deformation within Arabia-Eurasia collision zone. The study fault system in western Alborz comprises abundant evidence of active faulting accompanied by occurrence of historical earthquakes. Active tectonics of Manjil-Rudbar fault zone whose movement caused destructive 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake was concentrated in this article through geomorphic and st...
